Super Bowl Party

February 5th, 2011

People across the country are preparing for one of the most popular parties of the year, the Super Bowl party. If you are throwing a Super Bowl party in East Texas this weekend, you really only need two things, good food, and a big screen television.

I highly doubt people are looking to buy a brand new television just a few days before the Super Bowl, but if you are looking to get a new television set there are a lot of places that are having big sales. When it comes to technology it seems that if you wait a year after the product comes out there will be something new and you can save a huge percentage of the cost of the original product you wanted.

Most television companies are starting to move their technology towards doing more 3D television and extremely thin televisions. If you walk through Wal-Mart stores you will see flat screen televisions for a third less than they were last year. Wal-Mart has great prices on their televisions but the employees that work there do not really know what the best deal is. If you want a great staff to recommend the best television for the big game I recommend that you go to Don’s TV & Appliances or to Best Buy.

Now that you have your television ready, is it time to start with the food. This is one of the times of the year that junk food is expected. The most popular foods at a Super Bowl party are the barbeque chicken wings, chips and cheese dip, and fruit and vegetable trays. If you have no desire to cook for your party, there are great places that will provide your party with the necessary food.Aaron Rodgers Superbowl 45

Most places will do catering, but the most popular restaurant during Super Bowl has to be Wing Stop. It is amazing how many wings are sold on Super Bowl Sunday. But who does not love Wing Stop? They have the best flavors no matter what flavor you prefer. I am not a big fan of spicy flavors, because I get the worse heart burn, so I love the Hawaiian wings and the lemon-pepper wings. Wing Stop has great flavors that come as regular chicken wings, boneless Wings, and chicken strips.

If you are up for the challenge of cooking for the hungry crowd, you probably have been into the grocery stores and seen the many displays of junk food advertising the Super Bowl. But instead of just throwing a few barbeque wings on the grill, why not do a Super Bowl theme? I know it shows you as being cheesy but really when it comes to food how can you go wrong?

In this year’s Super Bowl the Green Bay Packers will be battling against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you have seen one Green Bay game, you know the food that they are known for, cheese! Wisconsin likes to be known for their cheese, so why not do a bunch of trays of Wisconsin Cheese? Trying to figure out what to do for the Steelers was tricky until I found out that Pennsylvania is know to be the snack capital of the world.

It was the first place to introduce pretzels to the United States. The state of Pennsylvania is known for the Hershey Company and many more chocolate companies. Have fun with different cheeses, chocolates, and many other snack foods as you watch these teams fight to be the 2011 Super Bowl winners.

Wing Stop on the West Loop

June 20th, 2010

image1444672917.jpgWing Stop has become the place we pick up quick delicious food for family get togethers and events.

Let’s face it sometimes you’re too lazy to even throw a hot dog or chicken wing on the grill.

Let Wing Stop do some deep frying for you instead.

I like their hawian, lemon pepper, mild, and garlic parmesian flavored wings.

The vegi sticks help justify the bindge as you dunk them into ranch dip.

Their French fries are some of the best in town.

Eat here in their store or take it to go. They are good with in store and take out.

They have no trash cabs in the store and you end up using a lot of towels to clean your face and hands.

Simply throw the wadded towels on the floor and concentrate on eating these delicious wings.

There are two Wing Stop locations in Tyler, one by Albertsons on the loop and one on the West loop near hwy 64 and Wal Mart in Tyler.

Wingstop and football a new tradition in Texas

August 31st, 2009

This is one of my favorite times of the year, when I can watch the Rangers on one channel and the Cowboys on the other. And what goes better with football, than a basket of hot wings and seasoned fries? In fact, Show me a guy who doesn’t love football and hot wings and I’ll show you a girl. Ok so I agree, that may be a little bit rash but admit it, I’m not far wrong. Oh, and I apologize to all those cool gals out there who happen to love both of those things. Well in what seems a match made in heaven, Troy Aikman has renewed his contract to promote Wingstop for another three years. Like the rest of Texas, I say, if Troy Aikman says something’s good, it’s got to be good!

Wingstop was founded in 1994 in Richardson Texas, were the company headquarters remains today. Since that time they have grown into a nationwide franchise with over six hundred locations and Troy as their poster boy. But this restaurant is not all marketing. The food is in fact tremendous.  There are nine different flavors of wings: atomic, Cajun, original (hot), mild, hickory smoked barbeque, lemon pepper, garlic parmesan, Hawaiian, and teriyaki. The servings are available in ascending volumes: ten wings (which really serves one), twenty wings, thirty five (which serves several) fifty, seventy five, and one hundred wings, which is perfect for those big Cowboy’s games. Don’t forget that those also come with those incredible Wingstop seasoned fries.

While the Wingstop franchise is not technically a local East Texas business, it is a Texas company, and with celebs like Troy Aikman, and now Jerry Jones, hocking their wares the Cowboy name is definitely going to help sell some wings here. While the service is quick and takeout is available the chain firmly asserts that they are not fast food.

Personally, I don’t much care what you call it. Quality is quality regardless of the name. So with baseball season winding down and football season heating up, take a break from the usual pizza and pretzels, and try a Texas favorite. Both you and Troy Aikman will be glad you did.
